Abstract

Production efficiency is always a driving factor as rolling mill operators, and in turn rolling mill suppliers, are forced to produce their products more cost effectively. Critical areas can be optimized providing tremendous benefit to the operation of the rolling mill with easily justifiable investments. By analysing the current status of key measurement areas in the rolling mill, latest maintenance practices and equipment technology can be easily retrofitted into existing, older operations, improving overall efficiencies. Using proactive planning, critical mill areas can be easily identified and improvement plans put in place. The results of these activities increase your mill utilization and achieve maximized performance from your current mill and personnel investment.
